rebecca brooks, chief executive. they were asked to come and appear before a committee here at the house of commons. now, we have been told the last few minutes rebecca will attend but rupert murdoch will not. james murdoch has said he can't attend on the date they asked him but could attend at a later point in august. and now as a result of that, that committee has issued a summons for rupert murdoch and james murdoch trying to force them to turn up on tuesday. they can't really do much about the fact that they don't want to come. both of those individuals are american. therefore, they have no real power to compel them to turn up. it is a real escalation in this. the fact that they dispatched, as they say, the sergeant at arms, deputy sergeant at arms, which is the security apparatus of the house of commons. to go and deliver this summons to the murdoches saying look, you have to come and you must come and explain yourself before this committee. it is -- pretty sensational turn of events. >> dan, we will continue to
